San Francisco and Tel Aviv, Israel (PRWEB) May 29, 2014 -- Crowdx (http://crowdx.co), an innovative next-generation telco analytics and network optimization company, is the first Israeli startup selected by Cisco to join Cisco Entrepreneurs in Residence (Cisco EIR). Cisco EIR is a startup innovation program available only to a small number of high-potential, early-stage companies working on the next groundbreaking ideas in the Internet of Everything, Cloud, Big Data and other related technologies.
Crowdx solves a critical need in the mobile industry for accurate, real-time data on network performance. Mobile customers want to know which carrier will provide the best service for them where they live and work. Carriers need a cost-effective and efficient way to find performance strengths and weaknesses in their networks. Crowdx leverages crowdsourced data to help customers find the right carrier for them while enabling carriers to accurately benchmark their performance and prioritize network upgrades and maintenance.
"Joining Cisco EIR offers Crowdx an exciting opportunity to enhance our telco analytics and network optimization platform by working closely with business and engineering groups at Cisco, a market leader in this space,” said Amit Lubovsky, founder and vice president of business development at Crowdx. "The amazing coverage which greeted the recent launch of our Glove app, a tool that uses crowdsourced data to match users to the best carrier for them, underscores the need in the market for enhanced telco analytics solutions.”
Cisco EIR is six months of an “in residence” experience with Cisco. Entrepreneurs selected to participate receive financial support in the form of payments and benefits from Cisco, access to Cisco business and technology groups and mentoring from industry experts.
